Prenatal class

Looking for childbirth preparation in English? You’re at the right address!

This one-day class is called “Giving birth in the Netherlands”. It’s an enjoyable and hands-on class to inform you and your partner about having a baby in the Netherlands.

You will learn about the most important aspects of giving birth in general and what to expect from the health system in the Netherlands. All your questions will be answered!

Some topics you will learn about:

What happens to your body during dilation?

What is labour pain and how can you deal with it?

How can a partner provide support ?

Positions to help dilation go faster

Pain relief options in the Netherlands

Basic breathing techniques during different stages of labour

Possible interventions

Dutch habits in childbirth

The best moment to participate is when you’re between 34 and 38 weeks pregnant. These Saturday classes take place once a month, so there’s always a class that fits your due date. I recommend you to register in time, because the number of participants is limited.
